I hope we have all learned that we should never elect “leaders” that have never had friends. Accomplices, people you are blackmailing, or dependents do not count. Having 3 or more divorces should also be disqualifying. Oh, and felons, rapists, and pedophiles.

We reached out to 24 counties today to see the extent of the problem. Here's what we got back:

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.
